I don't know where I got this.
But by the time I was fifteen I knew that homosexuals were deviant, perverted monsters roaming through history for a chance at anal penetration.
Or some such.
That became an unquestioned viewpoint by the time I was a teenager.
Later in life, after I had recently become 21 and had stopped for a beer in a tavern that was new to me, I was sitting at the bar and drinking my beer when a voice to my right said something.
Some preliminary form of engagement.
Innocuous it was.
Nothing wrong with some guy in some tavern wanting to not sit mute and alone at the bar.
I engaged.
He said "how's your game of chess?"
I am bad at chess.
I said "I'm bad at chess".
He said "how's your game of sex?"
I said "I'm really bad at that".
That's all there was.
But it reinforced my viewpoint.
I don't know where I got this.
But quite a long time after that encounter I had what can only be called a revelation.
"Given all the mechanics of what I know as sex - attraction, engagement, mutuality of feelings, laughing, maybe even crying, sharing home cooked meals, sharing wonderful conversation-ridden meals at nice restaurants, relationship growth, and, finally, copulation and desire to continue, maybe, all of that being with a female - I came to a cosmically revealed conclusion that being gay is way too much trouble to be a perverted choice."
Why couldn't what I knew to be the process happen with males.
In their own chosen ways.
Or women.
In theirs.
The being that has fucked us ever since we became sentient had fucked us yet again.
The revelation was "being homosexual is just too god damn much trouble to be an adopted perversion (perversion being a specific decision).
I knew from then homosexuality is totally normal but statistically less common.
So, I voted for gay marriage.
And my opinion has not changed in the interim.
But it has moved on and added transsexuals.
That is a condition which, until very recently I had only been vaguely aware.
But now they are a threat to the republic, to donnieLand.
So they must be erased.
I just have one question.
Why would anyone decide to accept that degree of misery?
Unless it's not misery; it's just true.
That jokester humans call god has a vicious sense of humor.
The evangelicals and their ilk are not bad people; they are just god fearing white christian nationalists who want to make everybody else do what they want.
And kill or imprison those who don't.
Do what they want.
That seems fair.
Mostly, their societal demands are a list of forbidden actions
Truth and reason being paramount among them.
